Hi
I passed my full unrestricted test last December but being a petite lady, most bikes are too tall for me.
We have the chance of a used gladius - my husband assures me it is a ‘nice bike’ but at the moment it is too tall for me to test ride. A lowering kit comes with it but the current owner says that he took it off due to poor handling.
My question is will I really know the difference at this stage, being a new biker?
My husband is considering spending £800 at Revs Racing in Halesowen on Wilber shocks and reworked forks and getting it set up specifically for me.
He feels we should do the suspension properly from the beginning but it makes the gladius not cheap anymore.
Has anyone done this to a bike ie tried the cheap kit then paid more to have it done.
Looking forward to any ideas thoughts regarding this dilemma
